Description
Two hose connections. One garden tap.
Keep two hose connections ready at the same water source with this black and orange two-way tap splitter. Each branch has its own manual valve, so you can turn one outlet off while leaving the other in use.
The ½-inch / ¾-inch BSP female inlet arrangement connects to a matching male-threaded tap. The two outlets have male garden quick-connect spigots for compatible female hose-end connectors.
One splitter supplied. Hose and female hose-end connectors are separate.
Check the tap thread and fitting space
The splitter uses a female BSP inlet for a male-threaded tap. Its supplied inlet arrangement is for ½-inch / ¾-inch BSP; check the thread on your tap before ordering.
BSP sizes are nominal thread designations, not a direct measurement across the hole and not the hose bore. A ½-inch hose connector, for example, describes the hose connection rather than this splitter's tap inlet.
The illustrated overall size is approximately 12.5cm wide and 10.5cm high. Allow space below the tap for both hose connectors, and leave room to reach the orange valves without the hoses pulling on the fitting.
Choose which hose receives water
Use the ON/OFF markings beside each orange control to operate that branch. You can use one outlet, the other, or both, without repeatedly moving a hose connector between them.
Both outlets draw from one tap supply. Opening a second branch shares the available water; it does not create extra flow or provide automatic watering control.
Each supplied black spigot needs a compatible female garden hose-end connector. The optional grey connector in Frequently bought together is for ½-inch hose. Use one suitable connector for each hose you want to attach; connectors are not included with this standalone splitter.
Connect without straining the tap
Check the inlet fit first, then connect and test each branch.
Match the thread
Turn the tap off. Check that the inlet arrangement matches the tap's male BSP thread and that its sealing parts are seated. Tighten by hand without forcing or cross-threading the plastic fitting.
Attach the hoses
Clip a compatible female hose-end connector onto each outlet you need. Support the hoses so their weight and movement do not pull sideways on the tap or splitter.
Test the branches
Turn the supply on gradually and check the inlet and hose connections. Operate each valve using its markings. Turn the tap off before removing or adjusting a fitting, and drain the assembly before freezing conditions.
Questions about the two-way splitter
Does this fit a 1-inch BSP tap?
This version is specified for a ½-inch / ¾-inch BSP female inlet arrangement. Choose a connection matched to your tap's actual male thread; do not force it onto a 1-inch BSP tap.
Can I turn one outlet off while using the other?
Yes. Each outlet has its own manual orange valve. Follow the moulded ON/OFF markings. Both branches share the same tap supply, so using both can affect the flow available to each hose.
Are the hose connectors included?
The splitter comes with two male garden quick-connect outlet adapters. The separate female connectors that fit onto your hoses are not included. Choose those to match your hose bore and the quick-connect interface; a bare hose does not attach directly to the supplied spigot.
Can I leave it outside in freezing weather?
Turn the supply off and drain the splitter and connected fittings before freezing conditions. No frost-proof rating is specified for this product. It is a manual splitter, not an automatic timer or pressure regulator.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
